Gosh yes!!!!!  Get a heating pad AND some Gas X strips and walk walk walk!
It gets better i promise!!!

thank you for the advice i really appreciate it

Hello and welcome, I was banded on Nov 7th and I suffered from gas, actually i still suffer and its 3 weeks some days are better than others. Renee said it best Gas X and walk walk walk.  So your in the most difficult stage right now the liquids and gas. Those was the two things i hated about the surgery. One thing for shore it does get better, i promise. God Bless

Hi! I was banded on September 2...it took a few weeks for the bloat to go away, but now I burp, and I burp alot, they're deep, loud, and long!! I guess it's better they come out my mouth than the other end!!!

I think I eat too fast, and that's causing some of the problem. I'm still learning how to live with the band!
